WINEMAKER’S NOTES: This is our first vintage making Trousseau after we had old Syrah vines at Wirth Ranch grafted over in 2016. The cuttings were propagated from the Jackson Vineyard planted in 1888. 100% destemmed, fermented and aged in tank for 6 months. Bottled unfiltered with no sulphur.

VITICULTURAL AREA: Solano County’s Green Valley is a small area, located just southeast of Napa Valley. Wirth Ranch is planted on steep-sloped, iron-rich volcanic soils. It is located on the western edge of Solano County Green Valley. Farmed with no use of any pesticides or herbicides.

At Broc Cellars, all of our wines are made using spontaneous fermentation, a process that means we only use native yeasts and bacteria that exist on the grapes in order to make wine. We don’t add anything – this includes nutrients, yeast, bacteria, enzymes, tannins or other popular fermentation agents. Sulphur is a naturally occurring element in all wine, the amount found can vary. We add little to no S02, depending on the wine and style.
